In the early 1970s, Roman Gary established himself as one of France's most popular novelists, journalists and memoirs. The feeling that he was typist as "Roman Gary", however, wrote his next novel under the pseudonym Emile Agar.

His second novel, "Agar," "Life Before Us," was an instant success, won the Goncourt Prize and became the best-selling French novel of the 20th century. Gondor Prix made people more anxious to recognize the real "Emile Ajar", and the anger he created created him, and Gary fled to Geneva.

There, Pseudo, a false confession and one of the most disturbing mysteries in all literature, was written at high speed. Writing under a double cover, Gary simulated schizophrenia and paranoid delusions while claiming that Paul Pawlovitch was recognized as being Emile Agr-the author of Gary's own books had written.

In Pseudo, David Pelos brilliantly translates it as Hocus Bogus, the struggle for confirmation and denial of authorship is part of a broader protest against global suffering and hypocrisy. Playing with narrative categories and authoring voice, this work is a strong testimony to the power of language in expressing, to entertaining, to deceiving, and ultimately to speaking difficult personal facts..

I want that book.
